I saw it once and thought the samething. He wanted to call it shit sandwich apparently, I guess a tap reference may have improved it slightly!

It was kind of a bitter comic series starring Bernard Bresslaw (RIP) as a self-centred comedy writer trying to cope with life's day-to-day problems.

It's absolutely fantastic, and it really threw me as it is so intrinsically unamerican in its humour.

It's like someone in the US actually got our warped sense of humour and 'had a go'. It worked. Brilliant

Americans can have warped senses of humour without it being a copy of anything British.

Since I hate Ricky Gervais and Curb... Not seen Lead Baloon, but I'll say that sucks too (working on the law of averages).

Last week's episode of Lead Balloon totally ripped off a scene from Extras. The main character is sharing a dressing-room with a has-been comedian and is embarrassed when he's trying to talk to him and sees him in some state of undress. Not even a homage, a rip off
